Specializations at the

Sammy Ofer School of Communications

Marketing and Political Communications Head of the Specialization: Dr. Amit Lavie- Dinur

The Marketing and Political Communications specialization offers a unique combination of academic

and research studies with practical experience guided by leading marketplace professionals. The

program educates and trains students in strategic and innovative thinking in fields such as advertising,

marketing, public relations and communication advisement across all media and digital platforms.

Alongside theoretical courses and research seminars which serve a basis for learning, students take

part in practical workshops such as: Marketing Strategy, Digital Advertising & Marketing, Political

Campaign Management, Video Commercials for TV and Digital, and Social Media Marketing providing

students with the necessary tools to integrate in the marketplace. During their third year, students

participate in the "Marketing Lab" where they develop strategies and creative solutions for innovative

campaigns for both profit and non-profit organizations.

Visual Content Studies Head of the Specialization: Dr. Amit Lavie- Dinur

The specialization combines theoretical and empirical studies in the fields of content development with

the acquisition of practical skills implementing advance technologies. The students will be trained in in-

depth research deliberation regarding popular media content such as: television, Internet, mobile and

social media. The Visual Content specialization puts an emphasis on the power of communication to

shape ideology, values and lifestyle in modern society.

The range of workshops in the specialization enables the students to develop content and produce an

original portfolio in: writing for television and web, production and distribution of YouTube channels, app

development, digital news, directing and cinematography. In the third year, students participate in the

"Content Hub" where they develop original formats placing the creator at the center while treating him

as an entrepreneur and leader in the international modern media market. Alongside these formats,

students will learn business model development in collaboration with students from the business

school that will assist their distribution in international markets.

Interactive Communications Head of the Specialization: Dr. Oren Zuckerman

This specialization's curriculum offers a wide and innovative range of courses focusing on the main

characteristics of interactive communication. Graduates will have an in-depth understanding of the

internet and mobile revolution, and will be prepared to make optimal use of it. Among the subjects

studied: cross media experiences, interaction models, the network and its effect on the participatory

culture, the psychological and social effects of new media, community management and performance

based marketing. In addition, students will participate in practical workshops that will include, among
